Re:There seems to be a step missing

Without a creator deity (let's call him God), you can't explain eternal life. Oops, I forgot, you probably don't believe in that either.

I personally believe in eternal life after God judges the world on the last day. If my soul can live with God forever after this world is over, then God could have lived forever before the beginning of the world. To put material limits on God is unrealistic, however it is quite human as that is all that we fully understand.

To take this one step further, if you don't believe in God and his omnipotence, why are you wasting time at Slashdot? You could make much more of the short time you have to live by robbing banks, old people, children, etc. And if there is no God and no eternal life, why worry about morals? There would be no right and no wrong? The biggest dog eats the most, might make right, etc.

Don't feed me any lines about humanity either. Humanity comes from Genesis 1:26-27
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

This is continued in Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

The difference between my believing God and your accepting that life came from somewhere in space, is that you give life a materialistic beginning and I give it an omnipotent creator whose powers are far beyond anything that we can imagine or dream. You accept that there are limits to everything and I believe in infinity in both directions, Revelations 22:13 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
